Lest we forget: SPORE
Frally:
I've been playing for a day now and I have a problem - The Creature Stage gives me motion-sickness. I like the game but I can't play it through because the camera moves around way too much. I need a static "birds-eye" view type camera or I start dry-heaving. It's like watching Cloverfield all over again. Anyone else having this problem? Any remedies? I can haz Camera hacks plz?

I'm using the No CD crack now, and it solves my problem with the game refusing to run. So clearly the main thing that SuckRom does it prevent legitimate purchasers from playing the game.
You can indeed go online with a cracked copy if you have a valid registration code. I've noticed quite a few creatures credited to players.
I'm up through the Tribal stage, and so far I'm pretty underwhelmed. There just isn't very much to the gameplay, and what's there is very, very repetitive. In fact, despite the fact that you control multiple creatures, not one in Tribal, and you buy clothing for bonuses instead of body parts, it feels only trivially different from Creature mode. Hunt for food that you only need sporadically. Find nearby nests, and either kill everyone or charm them with a Simon game.
Despite what was said earlier in this thread, I'm finding the peaceful route is much, much easier. Unless the creatures are absolutely hostile - some are flagged that way in Creature mode - it's much easier and faster to run through the Simon game than to attack. In Creature mode, there's a pretty good chance you're going to get mobbed and killed immediately, though you can sometimes avoid that by picking out an outlier. In Tribal mode, either is viable, but charming them takes a lot less time.
This game needs more possible interactions and more goals. Kill X Creatures / Charm X creatures / Domesticate an animal isn't very much.

If you press Ctrl + Shift + C to bring up the cheat console, you can type "help" for all the commands. There is a cheat you can type in to use the free cam mode. I don't know if that might solve your problem, but it can't hurt to try.

Charming them takes a lot less time, but on the other hand, the option may be less feasible if they are already ATTACKING YOU. The implacability of hostile enemies tends to increase as you move through the game. While I've been told that even hostile tribes can be buttered up with a simple present of food, civilizations and beyond tend to be largely implacable.

I completely failed my patience resistance roll and purchased a copy at Best Buy. It's installing (very slowly) as I type this, and no doubt SuckRom is busily raping my hard disk already.
Me too - sigh.

Crap - I tend to that too. First person viewpoint games are a complete no-no for me. PLEASE post any solution you find.
